We went pumpkin picking with Grandma and Grandpa when they came to visit last weekend. Of course there wasn't much fascination with the actual pumpkins, but all the other cool stuff they had was pretty entertaining! Nolan and Grandpa chased chickens around, and Nolan tried eating the pellets that were for the goats...sounds like he's learning from McKenna and the dog food! And they both loved driving the tractor, too!

CONGRATULATIONS DENNIS AND STEPHANIE!!!

Mom and Nolan...and mom's new 'do!

McKenna didn't quite get the object of apple picking...so she chose the biggest stick instead!

A few pictures from apple picking...forgot our camera, so thanks, Kim for these!

As you can see, Nolan still loves the swing-and plane spotting! And in the pictures on the bottom, he's "cleaning the dirt" (as he told me)...digging it up with the shovel and putting it in the window of the house!

McKenna is getting into plenty lately...the picture on top are of her first experience with markers...I guess they tasted pretty good (and she was sitting on my lap, too...she's pretty quick!) And the pictures on the bottom left are of her eating rocks-the far left is of her putting it in her mouth, and the one next to it is of her throwing the rock after I told her 'no'. She certainly has a temper when you tell her not to do something she WANTS TO DO!

big brothers are so funny!

KENNA IS SOOOO BIIIG!

She looks so tall! Growing like a weed....

It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!

This little gourd certainly started some trouble today! Nolan got to have 1 of the gourds we have out to play with, and as you can see by the look on her face, McKenna knew she had something great when she got her hands on it! Unfortunately, Nolan quickly moved in and swiped it right out of her hand. Good thing there was food handy....
(pretty soon, the pictures will probably be of her throttling him when he takes things away...Mommy can't wait for that!)

She's walking! It's been a while since our last post (sorry!)...and McKenna is walking! She's such a funny kid...and of course Nolan gets her laughing most of all! The picture on the bottom left is actually of her throwing a "tantrum"...she has started laying on the ground and rolling around while "complaining" if she doesn't get something she wants (like if we tell her "no" when she's trying to eat the dogfood!). Of course, as soon as the camera came out, it was funny!
